Nobel Prize Winner critiques use of GDP

Interesting article by a former Nobel prize winner. He critiques the use of GDP as a measure of economic well-being because it does not take into account the depletion of our natural resources and the environment. He advocates using "green GDP" instead of conventional GDP. Reminds me of the lessons we learned in the second week of class.
